We decided to go with a local solicitor for my conveyancing in South Normanton recently. Upon checking the small print it is apparent thatI am responsible for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or appoint an internet solicitor practice who offer no completion no charge conveyancing in South Normanton?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to offset the cases that abort. You should be mindful that these schemes generally do not protect you from expenditure such as South Normanton conveyancing search charges.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in South Normanton. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the Nationwide Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?

You should call the conveyancer and enquire if they can act for the bank. Otherwise you can call Nationwide Building Society who may be able to confirm.

My wife and I purchased a terraced Victorian house in South Normanton. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Coventry Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Coventry Building Society to clarify?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in South Normanton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in South Normanton. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in South Normanton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
